yes, what is interesting about martin's study is that they tested grounding in the yoga way on 'ungrounded' mats, and then on mats that were grounded (connected via the wire for the negative ion flow or some such), and those on the grounded mats were healither than those on the ungrounded ones, all other things being equal etc. fascinating stuff.

but, yeah, the behavioral aspects -- regardless of the ion stuff -- is old school.

actually I'm trying to say that science and evidence are the only good thing! this lifestyle is based completely on science and evidence, and we try to always have scientific arguments for everything, so this thread is really not a good example of primal thinking!

I'm just joking. There should be no dogma in science (or anywhere else for that matter).

Either there is something to this, in which case "Show me the evidence!" or there isn't - in which case.... well, "Show me the evidence!"

There are people that say they have seen real effects relating to this (thanks to those people that are posting that they have done - it's hard to be a heretic - something we should all be able to relate to!).

I should have put a sarkasm warning on top of my reply :-)

Aha!

Well yes I agree it has wandered off into very swampy ground...

I'm hoping someone can point back to somewhere more solid with some good evidence (anyone?)
